This won't concern all users, but it does apply to all those that have spiffy x86_64 based systems. Bongo has issues with CLucene on 64bit machines, this isn't a direct result of Bongo's code but more of CLucene's.

A bug has been filed upstream, but unfortunately very little has happened with it . You have two choices if running Bongo from source and wish to utilise the extra capabilities of your hardware:

1. Use the bundled Clucene under /import in the tarball
2. Apply the following patch to your system CLucene:

I have taken option number 2 and applied the patch to CLucene which you can get from my OBS repo. This means that you can truly run Bongo on 64bit machines running openSUSE/SLE and Fedora. I believe the patch has been submitted to Debian (but I'm not 100% on that one).

If people have any issues, please let us know - irc, mailing lists, forums or file a bug.
